Call me a hypocrite but I'd send her away to boarding school if she even mentioned it. My ex-wife on the other hand, by all means. I'm not even sure why I feel so strongly against it, I just wouldn't want my daughter pursuing that line of work - call me old fashioned.

That's a tough one to answer. I guess if she were of age and sane of mind I'd have to give her my blessing. Some providers sure seem to be successful and have their head on their shoulders.

Not sure if this link: http://www.ktvu.com/news/19267924/detail.html#- inspired your post or not dirtdeedz. This father actually ran into his daughter on the street corner..ouch! I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation.

You know, I thought about this question for a few minutes and it's really difficult to answer, considering I am a huge fan of sex work.

Honestly, I would be furious. Does that make me a hypocrite?

Any providers out there who's parents know what you do and freely give you their blessings?

OMG.

My hubby Alex blurted out "I'd book an appointment with her - Shit, screening would be a breeze" and then he laughed.

He can be such a dirty fart!

Fortunately, we don't have children, and when we do - I'm hoping for boys!

LOL, that's too much! That's one of those things that you're not supposed to think out loud.

I think this is where we all are hypocrites. All my really good friends know what I do, and one of the reasons that I don't offer "more" is that I think it would be harder to handle for them... but my family? No way I'd tell them. They'd be worried all the time.

It's interesting what we're ok with to tell whom: my sister knows that I have multiple relationships, my aunt knows, but my parents just never ask... I think they just don't want to talk about it even though they know.
Of course all my friends know and I don't really hide it when I'm out in public, either...

but I don't want my girlfriend's parents to know.

Completely agreed. Must be tough for you to know who you can trust enough to tell and who will judge you.

rofl i like that reply !!

an honest answer and much truth to it
some dads may be thinking like this here

it just validates you are "human"
most parents know what we tell them and most do not comprehend what "providers" really do
hence the reason "providers" should never be stereotyped
there is a big difference between a SW and a courtesan

- courtesan : http://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/rschwart/hist255-s01/courtesans/definin...

Courtesans were basically mistresses. They were supported by wealthy men who provided them with anything they could ever want.

-Differences from other forms of prostitution
Most street prostitutes work outside, which means they are particularly vulnerable to physical and sexual assaults, as well as to muggings.
Often street prostitutes have pimps, although they may work for themselves. Pimps will demand a certain amount is earned each night, and this will also act to force a prostitute to take on a client she might not want to. Often street prostitutes have drug or alcohol addictions that may prevent them from being employable by brothel owners.
Street prostitutes are also frequently targeted by serial killers because they routinely enter an unknown man's car

I have two daugthers and it is up to them. I am here to give them advice and hope they would use it to make the decision that is best suited for them. I would not be happy about it but it is their life. I guess I will use their trust fund against them. lol!

lol sometimes it's a test and while telling I'm thinking "so.. you want to be my friend?"

i don't need people in my personal life who I can't be honest with.

I feel pretty much the same as you. I wouldn't be happy about it but they are grown up and can do what they want. As long as they are healthy and careful there isn't really much I could do about it. I'd accept them because not accepting their choices could mean losing their respect and love and I simply couldn't live without my girls.

I agree with Layla as well. There is a big difference between an SW turning 3 tricks an hour @ $20 per and an elegant courtesan-type offering a superior service and charging as such.

Kudos to you two!

So what's worse, watching them give it away to the "loser of the month" for free? I just hope that if the time ever came that she and I would have an understanding, non-judgemental enough relationship for her to tell me. I have a friend who is a provider whose mother knows what she does. In her case, her mother raised her and her siblings to tell her about what they were doing before someone else did.

LOL I can just imagine the conversation:

Mom: "Honey, what the heck are you doing sleeping with that ugly loser boy? If you are going to sleep with losers, make sure you are at least charging them for it.

Daughter: "Oh, okay mom I think I understand"

LOL!!! Hopefully I would give her a little more guidance than, "start charging...and good luck with that."

LOL, "it's a dog eat dog world my darling, and nothing in life is free. Next time he asks you for some nookie you best be getting a C-note first".
